The date can only change when the hour hand has made two complete turns around the dial.Rolex uses a cam system possible could need a service as sometimes can get dry and slow to slip of the cam.Or again possible the hands on the hand stack possible loose, or slightly misaligned.Some change a little before midnight some after but as long as its changed when you wake up in morning dont worry about it.But early models with the 3186 movement did have a date change problem but rectified by Rolex.So if no service history have it serviced by RSC where Rolex will fit the modified part as part of service then have a two year warranty.
